Treatment of acne
Summary
Acne requires ongoing management beyond adolescence. Due to rising antimicrobial resistance, doctors recommend limiting antibiotic use for acne, favoring topical treatments for mild cases and oral isotretinoin for severe, resistant acne.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Microbiology
Background:
- Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition often extending beyond adolescence.
- Increasing antimicrobial resistance necessitates judicious antibiotic use in acne management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To outline current therapeutic strategies for acne vulgaris.
- To emphasize the importance of considering antibiotic stewardship in acne treatment.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature on acne treatment modalities.
- Analysis of recommendations for managing mild, moderate, and severe acne.
- Consideration of antimicrobial resistance patterns.
Main Results:
- Topical treatments are effective for mild to moderate acne.
- Oral isotretinoin is recommended for severe, therapy-resistant acne.
- Restrictive use of systemic and topical antibiotics is advised.
Conclusions:
- Acne management should extend beyond adolescence.
- Antibiotic stewardship is crucial in dermatology.
- Personalized treatment approaches, including topical agents and isotretinoin, are essential for effective acne control.

1000
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.

831
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
964
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.

3.7K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. The Goeckerman regimen, formulated for the treatment of psoriasis, consists of exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) light and application of crude coal tar (CCT). The following protocol is for the administration of Goeckerman therapy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe...
